The Finnish Heritage Agency's description

Kärsämän kylä on esimerkki Pohjois-Pohjanmaan jokivarsikylien takamaille, maantien varteen syntyneestä ulkotila-asutuksesta.

Kärsämän kylä sijaitsee soisen maaston keskellä avautuvalla kapealla peltoaukealla, jonka halki virtaa pieni mutkitteleva Kärsämänjoki. Kärsämän kylän tilat ovat entisiä Temmeksen, Limingan ja Lumijoen ulkotiloja. Kylä koostuu useasta itsenäisestä, umpipihan muotoon rakennetusta pihapiiristä, joissa on runsaasti historiallisesti arvokasta rakennuskantaa, niin päärakennuksia kuin harmaita talousrakennuksia. Kylällä ja rakennusryhmillä on voimakas historiallinen leima.

Kylän halki kulkeva maantie on 1700-luvun lopulla linjatun Savon kesätien paikalla.

Rantsilan alue oli 1100-luvulta lähtien pirkkalaisten ja myös karjalaisten eränautinta-aluetta. Pääosa pysyvästä asutuksesta tuli alueelle keskiajan lopulla 1500-luvulla lähinnä Savosta.

Oulusta alkanut Savontie rakennettiin kesämaantieksi 1770 luvun lopulla ja 1780 alkupuolella. Reitti kulki Kärsämän kylän poikki, ja vuoden 1806 tiekartassa Kärsämän talossa oli kestikievari. Kärsämän kylään perustettiin 1900-luvun alussa Suomen viimeinen käytössä ollut hevoskiertoinen meijeri sekä seurantalo.

Kärsämän kylä liitettiin 2001 Rantsilaan, joka puolestaan yhdistyi Siikalatvaan 2009.

Kärsämä village is an example of the backwoods of the riverside villages of North Ostrobothnia, an outlying-holding settlement that grew up along the side of the main road.

Kärsämä village lies on a narrow field clearing that opens in the middle of boggy terrain, through which a small meandering river, Kärsämänjoki, flows. The farms of Kärsämä village are former outlying holdings of Temmes, Liminka and Lumijoki. The village consists of several independent farmyard groups, built in the form of closed courtyards, with a rich stock of historically valuable buildings, both main buildings and weathered grey outbuildings. The village and its building groups have a strong historical character.

The main road that runs through the village is on the site of the Savon kesätie, laid out at the end of the 18th century.

The Rantsila area had been a hunting ground used by people from Pirkkala and also by Karelians from the 12th century onwards. Most of the permanent settlement arrived in the area at the end of the Middle Ages, in the 16th century, mainly from Savo.

The Savontie road, which started in Oulu, was built as a summer road at the end of the 1770s and in the early 1780s. The route ran across the village of Kärsämä, and the road map of 1806 shows a posting inn at the Kärsämä farm. At the beginning of the 20th century, the village of Kärsämä was home to the last horse-driven dairy still in use in Finland, as well as a community hall.

The village of Kärsämä was merged into Rantsila in 2001, and Rantsila in turn merged with Siikalatva in 2009.
